@Mario: sorry to add confusion, that's the last thing I want to do.
Here's a summation of my current status:

- natty / 11.04 upgraded from a 10.10 fresh install, through normal channels
- post-upgrade, I added mythbuntu repos, and so I have latest at the time of writing (0.24.0+fixes.20110503)
- in mythtv-setup when setting up this capture card, it shows me this: "ERROR, Compile with V4L support to query audio inputs"
- scheduled recordings actually do record audio (through stereo RCA's) and video (through component) just fine (despite seeing this ERROR in mythtv-setup)
- live tv is not reliable. If I watch live tv, it starts on directv channel 1 for me. when I change the channel through myth, it seems to fail, but changing through the directv box works fine.

Now, with that all said... if I can assume that the problem with Live TV
is unrelated (channel change script or something?) I'm starting to
realize that the only problem is that the UI indicates that there's an
error, because of the big "ERROR, Compile with..." message, when in fact
- there perhaps is no real error? (Or, perhaps this is causing my Live
TV issues, I don't know... will have to dig more on that outside of this
bug report). The only thing that would indicate it is this in the
backend log:

Two entries after "Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV" is...
2011-05-07 17.12:05.131 format_to_mode() does not recognize V4L1

So, is this really a separate issue regarding the UI in myth-setup?

Also, thanks so much for all your work.

Title:
  V4L support can't be enabled on 2.6.38+

Status in MythTV:
  Confirmed
Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythtv

  My capture card has been disabled since Myth isn't built with V4L.  My
  previous version installed roughly two weeks ago had it.

  Perhaps libv4l-dev needs to be a build-dep?

  Recompile MythTV with V4L support or remove the card 
  from the configuration and restart MythTV.
